InStyle Stamps Colour Challenge

 Its timne for and InStyle Stamps colour challenge ... and this is the fab colour theme this time.  Lots of rich red and orange, an a hint of calming blue.

 I used 2 digi images from InStyle Stamps ... Virginia and William as they fitted the shaker sytle cupboards at the back of the photo, and the feeling of Thanksgiving.
I coloured the images using my pens and then cut them out so I could position them together.  I have no idea what the dp is but it reflects the colours well and is also complementary to the period of the costumes.  I added some raffia lace, gems and pearl spray which I coloured using my pens.  The spray replicates all the berries in the photo.
Just a quick historical, and possibly note .. .I didn't use black for William's outfit, as his outfit is from the 17th Century and black was a really expensive fabric due to the difficulty in finding dying matter to create black.
